This is Hello Freedom and I'm your host Terry Cole.

For almost two decades I've been a licensed psychotherapist and transformation coach, and on this show I will bring you simple strategies based on practical psychology, inspiring expert interviews, and my own insights and observations

from my time on the front lines of the fascinating worlds of entertainment,

empowerment, and mental health.

Now let's get going with today's episode. So, Cyked that you decided to hang out with me today,

and this is actually kicking off Boundary Boot Camp Season 2018.

So I'm going to be talking a lot in the next six weeks

about healthy boundaries, unhealthy

boundaries, healthy communication, how to get your needs met,

negotiating for your needs, prioritizing your preferences, a whole slew of stuff because you guys know that love and

boundaries are my jam so let's get started on today's episode where I'm

actually going to be talking about why real love, healthy love requires boundaries.

So let's start with the Bill of Goods that we've been sold through the media, through fairy tales.

I mean, it's not even just the media, but we can go back a bit.

Let's go all the way back to the 70s, to the love story movie with Ali McGra and Ryan O'Neill.

They were so young.

Oh my God.

And those of you who are under, I don't even know what age

would you even know this reference,

but this saying became popularized from the movie,

which is love means never having to say you're sorry.

And you're like, okay, actually in real life, real love requires you to say you're sorry early and often.
